If your sig cannot be edited for some reason it is probably due to a marquee tag.

So everyone knows, if you edit your sig and do not close your marquee tag, it is very likely to corrupt your sig editor.

This means close your <marquee> tag with a </marquee> grnwink.gif

Don't leave the </marquee> out and you should be fine.

In the case that your sig editor is somehow corrupted, please post here and a SMod or above will fix it for you.

Also note, if your sig is extremely long, you could have hit your sig's physical limit. In this case your profile will explode in a fiery ball of plasma while you watch the forums melt before your eyes as they get sucked into the singularity you created.

... Or, more likely, it will cut off your </marquee> tag. bluetongue.gif

So don't create a crazily long marquee, hehe, or it may destroy your sig editor. grnwink.gif

If this is the case a SMod can also help you. If after adding the </marquee> tag it still doesn't appear to change, he/she will need to remove a section of the sig to make space for it. The removed section would be PMed to you.


Hope this is somewhat enlightening, lol... Sorry about the confusion.

As you all know, a somewhat common problem for members involves "broken signatures", which can warp pages for the member of the signature, and everyone viewing a page which has a post by that members. Not to mention that the sig doesn't always look all that good. bluetongue.gif Well, one very... seldomly used little feature is right under our noses, yet we almost never use it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present... the Open Tags indicator.

Located conveniently under the button for inserting hyperlinks, the Open Tags indicator is a useful little thing that does just what you'd glean from the title: It tells you how many tags might be open in your post/signature/PM/etc.

One of the most common problems with "broken signatures" is an open tag. Just one tag that is failed to be closed, especially when it comes to more complicated things such as marquee, can have disastrous results, as stated earlier. Though it can be somewhat... erratic at times, it's a nifty little feature, and I suggest that everyone take advantage of it.

So remember kids, when your sig is scrolling across the screen like a caffinated gazelle, what do you do?

Yes, that's right - Check the Open Tags indicator! biglaugh.gif

I prefer the fiery ball of plasma as opposed to the cut off marquee... but oh well. S'plode is S'plode.

I remember when I forgot to add </marquee>

I spent an hour trying to catch the screen to delete the thing while it kept scrolling down.

Yeah, I remember quite a few of those times... bluetongue.gif

I remember when, somehow, I ended up getting the whole sig edit screen scrolling sideways... Ugh... Took like fifteen minutes just to hit the edit button.

Hehehe, thats what happened to me. Cant remember who fixed it for me, but I think the reason was I didn't close the code like I was supposed to. It messed up all the sigs after my posts. Now THAT was fun biglaugh.gif
